Identical issue happened to

Identical issue happened to me this morning. Check Engine and IMA lights came on. 89k 2005 Accord Hybrid. Honda just called me back saying they were going to try a Software update and if that did not fix it we were looking at a new IMA Battery.

Susan,
Please contact me.

"Civic Hybrids are covered

"Civic Hybrids are covered by 8/80,000 warranties except 2003 SULEVs in CARB states which have 10/150,000. CVTs are SULEV MT are ULEV. 2004-2005 are all 8/80,000 everywhere because they changed the ratings of SULEV. This legal definition changing is also why 2000-2004 Insights can get NY CleanPass stickers (single driver in HOV lane), but 2005-2006 can't.

Just curious where you got this info and where it is stated? Also what defines a CARB state? Our 2003 is a ULEV but has a CVT tranny. If it was listed as a SULEV we wouldn't have to take it through emissions here but we do becuase of it's ULEV listing. I am curious about the 10/150K since ours has less than 100K now. Thanks.

Ron,

Ron,

I live in FL. so am I qualified for that 10yrs/150k mi warranty? IMA & Check engine lights are omn for 2over 2 yrs now. No problem running but my gas milage dropped bigtime. From 45 to 35 mpg & sometimes my engine battery drains. Brought it to dealer. They say it neede a IMA battery which costs $4000. I have a 2003 honda civic hybrid CVT.
